The Ring of Kerry is no ordinary road. This 179km circuit of the Iveragh peninsula is essential to any Irish tour itinerary. It’s a road that takes you through 10,000 years of tumultuous and dramatic history, past breathtaking beaches, medieval ruins and beautiful lakes, with ever-changing views of the island-dotted Atlantic. It will lead you to lush, lovely forests and through spectacular rugged landscapes where a profusion of wildlife roams freely and majestic waterfalls tumble down steep cliff faces into glistening pools below. The route runs from Kenmare to Killorglin and has long been a popular tourist attraction due to its remarkable mountain and coastal views at every turn.
